Let's Squander A Billion First!-Chapter 1587: Wu Di of Haters (18)

Mr. Chi deeply regretted calling Chuzheng to come over. If she hadn’t come, the relationship with the old lady might have been just a bit strained, and the old lady might have scolded him once.

Now things are much worse...

Even a will has been made.

The birthday party must still be attended. Chuzheng accompanied Grandma Chi and did not join Mr. Chi and Wan Ying.

This birthday party ended with everyone harboring their own thoughts, and Chuzheng escorted Grandma Chi back.

As she stepped out, Mr. Chi’s car was parked by the roadside, waiting for her.

Chuzheng didn’t plan to get into the car and walked straight past it.

Mr. Chi, angered, got out of the car: "Chuzheng, stop right there!"

"Mr. Chi, is there something you need?"

"What do you mean calling me that? Don’t you even call your dad anymore?" Mr. Chi burned with anger.

"..."

I’m afraid if I call you that, you won’t be able to handle it.

Mr. Chi only shouted once, not dwelling on the issue of how to address him: "What did you say to your grandma today?"

Chuzheng: "I didn’t say anything."

Mr. Chi: "You didn’t say anything, then why would the old lady force me to make a will?"

Chuzheng: "Wasn’t it Mr. Chi who first said Wan Ying was pregnant, and then Grandma asked you to make a will? Mr. Chi, don’t mistake the cause and effect."

If Mr. Chi hadn’t mentioned Wan Ying’s pregnancy, Grandma Chi probably wouldn’t have brought up the will.

Mr. Chi: "..."

Mr. Chi wanted to refute, but it seemed Chuzheng made quite a logical point.

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving." Chuzheng reminded Mr. Chi: "Mr. Chi, any color of hat looks good, but green stands out a bit."

Mr. Chi: "???"

What nonsense are you talking?

It was only after Chuzheng disappeared into the distance that Mr. Chi realized.

-

Mr. Chi returned home and didn’t see Wan Ying in the living room, so he curiously walked upstairs.

At the bedroom door, it wasn’t closed properly. Just as Mr. Chi was about to call out, he paused, thinking of something, and pushed the door open silently.

The sounds inside the bedroom gradually grew louder.

Wan Ying was showering in the bathroom. Mr. Chi, thinking maybe he was just being paranoid due to Chuzheng’s words, suddenly heard Wan Ying’s voice.

"What should I do..."

The sound of running water was loud, making it hard for Mr. Chi to catch the words clearly.

As he moved closer to hear, he kicked something, causing a loud ’bang’.

"Honey?"

Wan Ying called out from the bathroom.

No response came after the first call, so she called again: "Honey, are you back? Come in quickly, my stomach hurts a bit..."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Chi hurriedly pushed the door open and entered.

Wan Ying was sitting on the toilet lid, with an unwell expression, clutching her stomach.

"What’s wrong?"

"I fell just now..." Wan Ying said, "It hurts."

Mr. Chi, concerned, quickly took Wan Ying to the hospital.

The results showed nothing; the doctor only mentioned it might be caused by bad mood.

While Wan Ying was being examined, Mr. Chi checked her phone. The call logs showed nothing unusual, but on other chat apps, only on WeChat was there a voice message sent to Zhang Yan.

It was the same sentence, ’What should I do...’ that he had heard faintly.

He must’ve been overthinking.

That little brat must have done it on purpose!

-

Business at the bar has been bad lately, but Fei Xiu didn’t seem worried.

"At this rate, how can the shop keep running?" The employees seemed more concerned than Fei Xiu, the boss.

"What can we do? There’s crackdowns everywhere now. Every few days they come by."

"We’re running a legitimate business here."

"Just because you say it’s legitimate, does it make it so?"

"Did the boss offend someone?"

"I don’t think so... Look at the few places next door, they’re treated the same. It’s been like this recently."

The staff considered this too and realized it wasn’t only their establishment.

While everyone chatted, Yu Han sat aside, scrolling through her phone, occasionally showing Chuzheng things.

"This is so cute..."

Chuzheng glanced at it. It wasn’t really in line with current young people’s aesthetics. If this was considered cute, then how would one define the word ’creepy’?

"Hey..." Yu Han suddenly straightened up while browsing, shouting suddenly, "Oh my god!!"

Chuzheng: "..."

What are you shouting for!

"Yu Han, what are you looking at?" An employee beside Yu Han was startled.

"An Ji is releasing a new book!" Yu Han was absolutely excited.

"Who?" The employee, obviously not a book lover, didn’t recognize the name.

"A very powerful author." Someone next to him chimed in, "I also read his books. Is he releasing a new one?"

"Yes, yes, yes! He just posted on Weibo!" Yu Han excitedly recommended to everyone: "His books are really good."

Most people didn’t know An Ji, but seeing Yu Han so hyped and idle, they all took out their phones to look.

Chuzheng also checked and indeed it was just posted.

An Ji’s own account had quite a few fans, over 3 million.

That’s more followers than some D-list celebrities.

The new book’s title is "The Twilight Return," a suspense genre.

[Finally, a post from our great author, am I the first comment?]

[Even though it’s unlikely, I still want to ask: Will there be a book signing event? We desperately need a signing event, have mercy on your poor little fans.]

[Buy, buy, buy, buy! Ten copies!! Scheduled right away!]

[Suspense genre, oh my, the previous book "I am Gazing at You" was amazing!! Our great author writes everything brilliantly, I must praise them endlessly!]

[You buy one, I buy one, together we break sales records every day.]

[Here we go, brothers and sisters, how many sets are you planning to buy!]

The comments were bustling. An Ji hadn’t been active for almost half a year, and suddenly posting this news had fans fired up. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Chuzheng, do you read books?" Yu Han finished recommending over there, then came to recommend to Chuzheng as well. Maybe she was too excited and bumped into Chuzheng, causing her fingers to slide and press fast forward.

Then—

Her account seemed to be the original owner’s troll account.

How major platforms can showcase the full might of the original owner’s trolls, naturally, there’s infamous legends even on Weibo.

Chuzheng hadn’t intended to do anything, she just wanted to take a look...

"Ah, damn! The trolls are back." Yu Han’s expression suddenly stiffened, she even swore a bit, truly showing her anger.

Chuzheng quietly put her phone away.

Can’t let them find out, otherwise how can she swipe the card.

Keep it hidden!

Yu Han rolled up her sleeves ready to act, but then thought it felt strange. Why did the troll say nothing this time, just silently shared?

The original owner had been so serious about trolling that many of An Ji’s die-hard fans followed her—to monitor her every move!

As soon as Chuzheng reposted that Weibo, it immediately spread among true fans.

While everyone was about to roll up their sleeves and join in, similar to Yu Han, they were stumped seeing nothing on the shared post.

What kind of move is this?

Failed to load?

Or has the troll not yet finished crafting their message?

Doesn’t matter, insult first and talk later!

"...Don’t you all find An Ji’s name a bit familiar?" Someone whispered.

The air suddenly fell silent.

It does seem...

Kind of familiar.

Why does it sound a lot like the name of the boss’s friend?

"Same name, perhaps."

"But the boss has shared many things related to An Ji."
